[Verse]
Look out I hear the scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the back seat of a dying Ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars who are far too old
And no-one ever told me that I could be so cold
[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, feet
Bombers fly to zero
[Verse]
I see an old man knocked to the ground and beaten by the vicar's wife
No-one stops to help they're far too busy tring to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother and wanders out into the street
I saw her go down underneath a thousand people's running feet
[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, Feet
Bombers fly to zero
[Verse]
All the nurses pulling needles from their arms hope it lasts the night
All the soldiers curse the day they joined the army and prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars, you hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see, I'm a bomber man
[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, Feet
Bombers fly to zero
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, Feet
Bombers fly to zero
Look out I hear the scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the back seat of a dying Ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars who are far too old
And no-one ever told me that I could be so cold
[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, feet
Bombers fly to zero
[Verse]
I see an old man knocked to the ground and beaten by the vicar's wife
No-one stops to help they're far too busy tring to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother and wanders out into the street
I saw her go down underneath a thousand people's running feet
[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, Feet
Bombers fly to zero
[Verse]
All the nurses pulling needles from their arms hope it lasts the night
All the soldiers curse the day they joined the army and prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars, you hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see, I'm a bomber man
[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, Feet
Bombers fly to zero
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, Feet
Bombers fly to zero
